Active Release Techniques is a combination of both ART (pun intended) and science. In my opinion, ART provides practitioners with an incredible tool and methodology for effectively addressing the soft-tissue injury epidemic that is rapidly overtaking our health care system.

As a hands-on technique, ART provides the means for both diagnosing and treating the underlying causes of both cumulative trauma disorders and soft-tissue conditions. These disorders often result in symptoms of weakness, numbness, tingling, burning, aching, and a variety of other physical dysfunctions.

The goal of ART is to:

 Restore optimal tissue texture, tension, and movement.

 Restore the strength, flexibility, function, and relative translation between soft-tissue layers.

 Release any soft-tissue restrictions, entrapped nerves, restricted circulatory structures, or lymphatic restrictions.

ART is based upon a thorough understanding of anatomy, physiology, and biomechanics. It is easily supported by science and logic. As a dynamic technique, its practitioners are actively involved in finding new and better ways of improving upon ART’s already impressive outcomes.
